^^^^ Europe says we do this look how many tax havens are UKL based and why we wont open up London to actual scrutiny.
designated a religion for everyone to follow.

[i]so IF they did all decide to bugger off then we'd be roughly 421,000 jobs better off.[/i]
That's a lot of opportunity for the unemployed, or those looking for promotion or starting their own business. Encourage social mobility, Let them go.
There's people to fill their roles, and if the market's there for the business then they would be filled easily. Therefore, no tax income would be lost at all, just less unemployment benefits burden on the tax payer.
Those people don't "create jobs", they fill them. The market determines what jobs are available and needs a boost like that.

People that start and own businesses don't create jobs??
Tax the poor and and rise the pension age so most people will die before they reach that age .
Oops they have all ready done that never mind how about we go after the £2 billion welfare cheats cost us but make sure we don't bother about the £69 billion we lose to tax avoiders .
Anyone can start their own business, it just needs the demand to be there for the product or service targeted.
So if these folk who want to threaten to leave as tax exiles actually eff off and do one, the demand is still there.
One more business opportunity for someone else to supply that demand, pure job creation. Simple economics really.
Of course nobody actually needs to know if we have an effective nuclear deterrent... just a big box with "bombs" written on it and a forged receipt would do.
I'd fill mass graves with the over 50's and pensioners, then seize their assets and redistribute them.
Problem sorted.
Ask India for aid, instead of giving it. Their GDP is greater than ours now and growing fast, so maybe it's time for them to help us out a little.
Could we become a tax haven? Lure wealthy foreigners in and charge them a punitive (to them) amount of tax which adds up to a lot for us?
Take the millionaires from Monaco etc?
That's essentially why the Tories have given the banks a break - to make London an attractive investment centre. It just so happens that everything else has to suffer for it...
Oh, and extra people here? It's a little crowded already... 😉

There's a market and demand for infinite energy.
I take it the only reason no one has started a business that sells this infinite energy is that they don't want to pay tax?

People don't like windfarms in their back-yards. 😐
lots of people saying "scrap trident"
the thing is that trident is just one huge scam at the moment anyway, so the reality would be pitiful savings... a couple of pictures of submarines and the money we pay to the storytellers who bang on about how important and it is and how far reaching the benefits are. The trident budget actually pays for the gold plated, diamond encrusted toilet paper in Chequers. Nuclear deterrant was shelved by Maggie...

Always space for those willing to contribute.
People don't like windfarms in their back-yards.
Yes, because windfarms are going to solve our energy problems. 😐
Cut all benefits to the self-made unemployed and cut all medical attention to self-inflicted/lifestyle related illnesses sufferers.
They die out, thus Darwin's evolution theory is restored. The human race can then evolve again.
cut all medical attention to self-inflicted/lifestyle related illnesses sufferers.
Don't almost all illnesses have some component of "lifestyle" to them?
Or are you just talking about the ones where the sufferer has put themselves in obvious harms way? Like mountain biking?
I'm glad the STW hive mind is not running the country, it would make the current idiots look smart...
As the Chancellor doesn't now set interest rates, arguable a very large part of his job, I'd remove a very large part of his salary. I'd back date that to all Chancellors since the Bank of England started doing their job for them.
Means tested fines. If a fine is supposed to be deterrent, why does unemployed Joe Bloggs gets the same fine as some multi-billionaire?
Take the millionaires from Monaco etc?
Oh, and extra people here? It's a little crowded already.
Monaco 2nd most densely populated country in the world UK 53rd.From what I hear Monaco is not exactly an overcrowded ghetto either...
Sell Trident on the open market to the highest bidder,free trade and all that.The Yanks would probably stump up the cash to stop it being bought by any of the rogue states 🙂

If this theoretical exodus of the 1% did occur, you'd really only be loosing the CEOs, directors and executives, not the research scientists, who are almost exclusively employed by our universities, whose funding has just been cut.
WunUndred 😀
so IF they did all decide to bugger off
where they going to go?
scrap trident.
legalise drugs have a 50% tax on them.
cut back the army, navy and airforce to domestic defence only.
change tax rates, sliding scale from 0% for under £15,000, to 100% for over £200,000.
Stop the Police saying 'Hello' three times whenever they question or arrest someone - it's a massive waste of resources, surely once is polite enough?
Fit small generators to the wrists of teenage boys and connect them to the National Grid.
Swingeing tax on fake tans, personalised reg plates, non essential plastic surgery and hair transplants.
Dog licence, charged in proportion to the weight of the dog.
